Answer from: lolz55678

The cells of skin are somatic cells undergo mitosis while gametes are germ cells are and undergo meiosis.

Explanation:

The cells of the skin are somatic cells while the gametes are the germ cells which become haploid.

The cells of the skin undergo mitosis for the growth and repair process.

The germ cells or gamete undergo meiosis to produce haploid cells.

The skin cell when undergoes mitosis forms 2 diploid cells and gametes undergoes meiosis to form haploid cell.

The haploid cell on fusing with sperm or ovum becomes diploid by making a zygote.

The number of chromosomes in skin cell or somatic cell have complete set of chromosomes i.e. 46 in human while the cells of gamete will be half the chromosome as 23.

The half information of the individual is present in gamete whereas skin cell have full information.

Gametes transfer all genetic information to the next generation, so their DNA is somewhat "protected" from somatic cells

Explanation:

Gametes differ from other cells in the body in several ways: the cells we call as "somatic." Think about what a gamete has to do, what is different from most other cells, and you will begin to discover many cellular differences. For example, gametes must become haploid: they must reduce their genetic material to a single copy, while somatic cells are diploid. Gametes go through a process of gene reduction called meiosis, and only gametes do. Furthermore, gametes transfer all genetic information to the next generation, so their DNA is somewhat "protected" from somatic cells. Furthermore, gametes, especially eggs, can produce a completely new organism. No other somatic cell (that we know of) can do this naturally (although some stem cell research is focused on solving this problem). There are many other differences, but these should help you get started. Again, consider linking function, what cells do, to their shape.

dna fingerprinting is defined as a process that determines the dna characteristics of an individual. these dna characteristics are unique among individuals as their fingerprints, so it is known as dna fingerprinting.

steps of dna fingerprinting includes extraction of dna from sample, amplification of dna, restriction digestion of amplified dna, and then analysis of dna by gel electrophoresis, respectively.

thus, the next step performed by the scientist is 'to cut the amplified dna (obtained by polymerase chain reaction) by restriction enzymes that cleave the dna into fragments and their analysis.'

Ry was studying two populations of the same species of lizards. one population lived on an island and the other lived on the mainland. both populations were affected by a hurricane that hit the island and the mainland with equal force. a year later, henry was testing the gene frequency and saw a decrease in genetic variation in the island species, but not in the mainland species. which best describes a conclusion he might have reached? gene flow greatly affects small populations, but large populations can recover. genetic drift greatly affects small populations, but large populations can recover. gene flow greatly affects large populations, but small populations can recover. genetic drift greatly affects large populations, but small populations can recover.

Interactions between organisms and their environment impact the organism’s overall population. the jaguar panthera onca is the largest cat in north america. it is found in areas across the southwest, including arizona, new mexico, and texas. it is a carnivore that has powerful jaws and sharp teeth and preys on fish, turtles, tapirs, and many smaller mammals. which shows the relationship between the jaguar and turtles?
